All vanillas are not the same. There are Mexican, Tahitian, Bourbon and French Vanilla beans just to name a few. With so many natural variations of vanilla why limit yourself to only one vanilla fragrance?
Top 5 Vanilla Scents
1. LaVanilla Pure Vanilla-a beautiful mix of vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli. Beware many people complain about this scent being one dimensional, buuuut that’s kind of the point. It’s called pure vanilla *blank stare.* Anyway, this is one of my favorite scents of all time and it’s a great base to warm up other scents especially in the winter.
2. Vanilla Lace by Victoria’s Secret- Vanilla and musk in a bottle, straight up. They’ve changed the formula slightly in the past few years less musk more vanilla, much to the dismay of many perfume aficionados, but it still smells great to me. Extra points for being so affordable. Perfect for women of all ages.
3. Sugar Dipped Vanilla by Carol’s Daughter– smells just like Aqoulina Pink Sugar mixed with a Vanilla cupcake. Yuuuum.
4. Island Vanilla by Pacifica- A nice variation on a classic vanilla. Smells just like a vanilla coconut ice-cream cone.
5. L’Occitane Vanilla Eau de Toilette-a warm musky vanilla, more sophisticated than Vanilla Lace. Just imagine walking down the streets of Leon, France on a cool summer night, this is the scent you want trailing behind you as you snag your beau. The lasting power totally facilitates this possibility.
Honorable Mention: Warm Vanilla Sugar by Bath and Body Works
